Etching, 1635. 358x467 mm; 14 1/8x18 3/8 inches. Third state (of 5). Ex-collection Robert Hartshorne (see Lugt 2215b); thence by descent to the current owner. With thread margins or trimmed on the plate mark. A superb, dark, richly-inked and early impression of this important etching, with all the details distinct, with no sign of wear and with very strong contrasts consistent with the earliest impressions of this subject. Lieure 1416.
